New editions are complete revisions of the manual. Update packages,
which are issued between editions, contain additional and replacement
pages to be merged into the manual by the customer. The dates on the
title page change only when a new edition or a new update is published.
No information is incorporated into a reprinting unless it appears as a
prior update; the edition does not change when an update is incorporat-
ed.
Many product updates and fixes do not require manual changes and,
conversely, manual corrections may be done without accompanying product
changes. Therefore, do not expect a one to one correspondence between
product updates and manual updates.
